A Junk Free Touching Christmas
While much of America digs out from record snowfall from a storm that originated as 6 days of rare rain here in California; we ended up having a pretty beautiful Christmas Day. I am very glad that I did not fly anywhere for the holidays. The rain we had most of last week was complete with mudslides, hail and the now obligatory double rainbow. The week of crazy weather didn’t phase Santa however, and the kids in our family (including me) had a wonderful Christmas. It was certainly better than last Christmas, when 2 of us ended up in the emergency room and 9 of us came down with the stomach flu! Here are some images and videos from the week, including my favorite Christmas present:

Happy New Year to you as well! Your posts always make me smile! How ’bout that rainbow. Wowza that was a beauty! The sweatshirt cracks me up. Bet you can’t wait to fly somewhere. Please tell me it’s your intention to wear it through the security line!
@suez_site - Thanks a lot! Happy New Year to you too!
@c_est_la_vie_mon_amie - Hmmm, I wonder if I had too many pictures on my main page? I just changed the # of entries from 5 to 2. Maybe it will work now? Have a Happy New Year!
@ItsWhatEyeKnow - Thanks! You can bet I’ll be wearing that sweatshirt when I fly to Sundance next month :)
